About the Designer, Laura Cardenas

I've always been fascinated by antique ethnic jewelry. The colors, the intricate carvings and symbolism. I graduated with a major in Fine Arts and worked as an Art Director for several years. However, I was longing for more creativity, so I began taking jewelry courses and silver smithing. That is when I found my new passion.I quit my job, sold my house and decided to travel to Asia and North Africa. Walking through the streets of Morocco I was able to admire the amazing jewelry I had just seen in books. After such an inspiring trip I had to create my own jewelry designs. I went back to Ecuador for a while and reconnected with the creativity and uniqueness of our art and culture.I started incorporating Ecuadorean local materials like hand woven fibers, seeds and naturals stones and shells into my designs.
